The Jamm..
 

Calling all Jam fans..

Tribute group, The Jamm are playing at Accy Town Hall on Saturday May 5th 8pm. Tickets are a tenner each.

I have seen a couple of Jam tributes but have to say that these guys were the best ones, saw them at Manchester Academy a couple of years ago. So if there are any 40 year old stage divers out there...... you know where to come..:D

Re: The Jamm..
 

A tenner:eek: Think it cost about half of that to see the original Jam at king Georges back in 79.That said i may well don my fred perry polo & herrington jacket for a surf on the wave of nostalgia.Do they play 'Butterfly Collector'?

Re: The Jamm..
 

Thanks for the heads up Lettie, might have a moochy on down there myself :D

Re: The Jamm..
 

I went to the Versus Cancer gig on the 30th March at M.E.N, Noel Gallagher & Paul Weller collaborated on 'Butterfly Collector' acoustically - it was absolutely amazing.
My favourite tune played by my favourite artists & I was there :D Mint.

Sorry back to thread - I've heard The Jamm & The Jam Restart, the latter are probably the best Jam tribute, but I don't like tributes at all so what would I know.

Re: The Jamm..
 

I don't 'get' tribute bands - why do people go and watch someone else perform the music of the group or band that they really love?

Re: The Jamm..
 

Probably because the bands they love would never come to Accy town hall so if they can't afford 60 quid or so for a ticket plus having to travel to wherever the band's playing then it's better than nothing.I'm sure most people would rather see the real thing though if they could.

Re: The Jamm..
 

It depends Gayle, if it's a new band then yes I'd want to see the 'real' people not a tribute, but you'll find many tribute bands that play the music of bands that have been going quite a long while will play the older stuff, where as the 'real band' are usually touring to promote new material they've just released .... pause for breath :D .... did that make sense?

Re: The Jamm..
 

Sort of - but I like going to watch bands that play cover versions and old familiar songs - I just don't really 'get' the pretending to be another band altogether.

Re: The Jamm..
 

What you complaing about?

At Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre we get looky-likeys of looky-lickeys.

ShellyTuppence's tribute to Maxine Barrie, THE Shirley Bassey impersonator.:D

Re: The Jamm..
 

I know and I avoid them like the plague. :D

Re: The Jamm..
 

I can definitly see the point of tribute bands, especially if the originals have split, as it allows fans to get that concert atmosphere again.

Re: The Jamm..
 

Well tribute band or not, we had a brilliant night, much better than slogging round Accy's dead pubs. My ears were ringing and I was knackered from the dancing when we got in.

Believe it or not, Accy Town Hall is a fab music venue, I really don't know why it isn't used more often for this purpose as it is easily as big as Burnley Mechanics.

Re: The Jamm..
 

Is this upstairs at the town hall? Was it well supported?

Re: The Jamm..
 

Yes, it was upstairs in the Ballroom. It was pretty well supported but there was plenty of room for more.

Re: The Jamm..
 

know what ya mean, glad ya had a great night, dont think the town hall has the same atmosphere as the mechanics though although its more convieniant, the reason they dont have more there could possibly be= its usually booked for weddings.:D
